PASSION & PURPOSE – TESTIMONIALS SAY IT ALL: Can you believe we are approaching our 5-year anniversary at !MPACT this coming February? Time flies by so fast, and I remember mapping out our business plan, making sure that our business model would separate us from other fitness facilities. “Passion” and “Purpose” were two words we wanted to be associated with in the health and fitness industry. We wanted to help people to reach their goals – whether it was an athlete who wanted to improve their performance with the hope of playing a sport in college, or a mom that just had a baby and wanted to lose weight to get back to her “pre-baby” body. We also wanted to offer nutritional advice that would point people in the right direction with regards to balanced meals and clean eating. Lastly, we wanted to be sure to help people work towards a healthier mindset. Really, mindset is the cornerstone of our fitness . . . If we are positive thinkers who can believe in ourselves, then we really can accomplish just about anything. So we worked hard over the last five years to make sure each client feels special. Well day to day, my husband and I get busy running the business and training clients, while trying to be good parents to our two boys. So it is our hope that (despite our busy schedules) we are still on the right track, taking good care of our clients as well as our dedicated staff. And then it happens . . . We get an amazing reminder that we are, indeed, on track . . . I received a text message from one of my clients named Marie who is down 25 pounds and feeling more energetic than ever, and she can’t thank us enough for getting her to her goal and feeling better about herself. And just the other day, one of our clients named Karen Lambo told us that she joined !MPACT so she could get stronger. She is a nurse and often has to lift heavy patients or lug around equipment. Karen stopped me the other day to say she honestly felt stronger and more energetic at work, and she is so grateful she started training with us. Both she and her husband started out at as “beginners” and have really advanced in just a few short months. And then we received a text message from one of our Elite Athletes, Olivia Johnsen, who wanted us to know she was committing to Central Michigan University. Olivia received a scholarship for lacrosse, and she texted Michael with the following message: “Hi Mr. Scannelli, it’s Olivia, and I just wanted to let you know I committed to Central Michigan University. I could not have done this without the support and help from you and the rest of the !MPACT crew. I consider you guys part of my family and am so thankful for you!!” Michael and I feel truly blessed to be heading towards our 5th year in business. You can do all the marketing and advertising you want, but really it is word of mouth and testimonials like these that will bring new clients through our doors. So through helping each one of our clients –along with getting involved with charity events and events to help our community, we know our Passion AND Purpose is to help others – in many different ways. We feel really good about that and want to thank our loyal clients as well as our staff for getting us this far. If you look above our front doors as you are leaving !MPACT, you will see the words “Passion and Purpose . . . What’s Your’s?” We really want to get you thinking!
PINK-OUT BOOTCAMP: As you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we actually have a few dear clients who have had the misfortune of dealing with breast cancer – and thankfully overcoming it. So in honor of those clients, as well as the many women (and some men) who are fighting breast cancer today, we are having a PINK-OUT BOOTCAMP. This is a FREE bootcamp, as long as you are wearing something PINK! This bootcamp is a bonus workout for any of our present clients, and free for those who have been dying to try one of our multi-level bootcamps. We will hold this special bootcamp on Sunday, October 23rd from 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. We offer variations to every exercise so you don’t have to worry the class is too advanced for your fitness level – and if you want to be pushed harder, we will do so very happily! If you are new to !MPACT, please arrive 5 minutes early to fill out a short registration/waiver form. Lastly, it would be awesome if you could call or drop us an email if you plan to attend. This way we can be prepared with headcount and add your name to the list. Call 908-428-7978 or please email Mike:[email protected]
INTERMITTANT FASTING: Does that work to burn fat and lose weight? ABSOLUTELY! You have to be careful, though, not to go too low in calories for more than a day or two because that would put your body in a state of starvation which might backfire and slow down the metabolism. Let me explain how it works. Our bodies are like human calculators – adding up calories as they come in. The body LOVES to store bodyfat as a survival mechanism – so when you intake 3500 calories, it equals one pound. That certainly explains why it is so easy to put on a few pounds while on vacation! So if you are following a sound nutritional plan in an effort to lose weight, a good ballpark for your daily calories would be 1400-1600 calories for a woman and 1600-1800 calories for a man (again, those are estimates). You can also use the method of calculating your daily calories based on your present weight . . . So if you weighted 170 pounds and wanted to lose weight, you would be on a diet consisting of 1700 calories. If you weighed 240 pounds, you would be on a diet consisting of 2400 calories. And as you lose weight, you lower the calories accordingly. In addition to watching your calories and eating balanced meals, throwing in a day or two of intermittent fasting is also a great way to torch up the metabolism. You would be sure to have something low in calories (about 20-40 calories) every hour of the day. This will help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent muscle breakdown while you are fasting. I love using nutritional cleansing supplements when I complete a day or two of intermittent fasting to ensure I am giving my body the best nutrition – since the calories are so low. This process cleanses your blood, as well as all your major organs — and helps to reduce visceral fat (fat that is in our abdomen). If you are looking to get healthier, leaner and fit – and you want to learn more about intermittent fasting, just drop me an email with your contact info, and I will give you a call. This could be the change-up your body needs so that you start burning fat and resetting your metabolism. Email me at: [email protected]
IT’S HERE! SENIORS’ STRENGTH TRAINING (AGES 55-60+) IS HERE IN OCTOBER! This new training program will take place every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m., starting on October 4th – and we will definitely plan to add more of these sessions to the calendar if it is in demand! This training session is for men and women who are age 55-60 or older! So think about it . . . When we were young, we needed to exercise to help our bodies develop and grow . . . and once we were grown, it was essential that we continue to exercise to maintain our health and our strength. And then when we hit our 40’s and age 50, we are usually trying to decrease bodyfat for optimal health, as we adjust to a slowing metabolism. By age 55-60, the goal is usually to remain healthy, fit and FUNCTIONAL as we AGAIN deal with a metabolism that is moving even slower. If we had more lean muscle mass on our bodies, we would burn more calories – even at rest – plus, we would LOOK AND FEEL BETTER. And it is so important to incorporate joint integrity work –so that our connective tissue is also strengthened. This not only helps to reduce inflammation and pain, but it also allows us to have a healthier range of motion when performing day-to-day activities. In this 55-minute training session, participants will be guided through a safe and effective workout that starts with a gentle warm-up, followed by resistance band work, balance and core training, and weight training to help improve strength as well as bone density. The session finishes off with wonderful stretches to elongate the muscles. This group training session is for beginners, as well as those that are already fit. Variations to exercises will be offered based on participant’s abilities. During this training session, participants will use weighted equipment such as dumbbells, machines, bands and medicine balls — and they will also use slide boards, balance pads and lots of other fun equipment. Complimentary nutritional handouts will be provided since we definitely want to make sure all participants are coupling their exercise routine with healthy eating. PLEASE REGISTER FOR THIS PROGRAM SO WE CAN GET A HEADCOUNT AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY. This is a discounted program for seniors, so please call Michael Scannelli if you are interested in getting started on this new program or would like pricing: 908-403-7605.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS:
Holiday Vendor Boutique – Thursday, November 10th from 5:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. This is an event where vendors pay for space to put their tables, and 100% of the proceeds got to our favorite charity, www.Steps-Together.org. Space is $50 per space, and vendors from last year get first dibs on space. We will make sure there are no duplicate vendors from companies like Mary Kay, Arbonne, Wild Tree, etc. If you are interested in being a vendor, please email my husband and Operations Manager, Michael at: [email protected]
OCTOBER CALENDAR: Do you know why !MPACT Training is different than any other gym or training facility? We offer all different types of workouts for every fitness level, and they are ALWAYS guided by a certified/degreed Personal Trainer. We can talk to you about your goals, specifically, to help guide you through your journey, AND we are offering some great nutritional advice to help you reach your goals. Please click here to take a look at our OCTOBER GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR for adults, teens and kids. We have such a wide variety of group training sessions ranging from strength & resistance training to multi-level bootcamps or cardio-style workouts . . . We have just what you need! We also offer one-on-one personal training, partner training or semi-private training and those are scheduled separately based on the time that is best for you to train. So please call us to let us know your availability and we will get you onto our trainer’s calendar (908) 428-7978!
CALLING ALL ATHLETES: Need to squeeze in some additional training so you are at the top of your game? Wait till you get a private workout on our new Vertimax Trainer (equipment pictured above). This patented, jump-training technology is specifically designed to power in all phases of a vertical jump – which is great for every sport. By simultaneously targeting explosive leg power and arm swing velocity, athletes can now maximize their vertical lift component and get unmatched vertical gains. So this equipment can help your athlete run faster, jump higher and become more explosive. Our customized plans are based on each client’s specific goals – and we identify their strengths and weaknesses . . . then we get to work! We offer 30-minute and 55-minute training sessions – and athletes who purchase a discount 10 or 20-pack of personal training sessions are eligible to come for ONE FREE group training session per week. They would greatly benefit from our Elite Athlete Training, and if they are 15 years or older, they can jump into any bootcamp or weight-training session for adults. What a great way to train in the off-season or to stay conditioned during your regular season! We offer personal training throughout the day – starting early morning, straight through till 8:30 p.m. Just call us to let us know the time frame your teen (or pre-teen) would like to train, and we’ll match that up with our trainer availability. Email Mike at: [email protected] or Call: 908-403-7605.
NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING: Interested in a scientifically proven weight-loss program? Want to improve energy levels and improve your overall health? Then you might want to talk to me about our 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse. I will help you set 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day goals to get you into the best shape of your life! Just email me with your name and cell number, along with the best times to reach you. I will call you and answer any questions you might have — and I would also love to hear about all of your health and fitness goals to see if the program would be a good fit for you. Thirty Days from now you will be forever grateful you started! Email: [email protected]
VIRTUAL COACHING: This is the latest way people are setting and reaching their fitness goals – especially if they don’t live close to !MPACT Training. The first 1-hour session via phone with Hillarie is a great way for the client to outline his/her fitness goals and set up their plan of attack . . . whether it be weight-loss; improved energy levels; building muscle while decreasing bodyfat to get leaner and stronger; or receiving workout programs (via email) to do on your own so you get the results you are looking for. Maybe you just need that motivation, knowing you are being held accountable to an expert in this field – as that helps so many of us stay on track. Your program can also be a combination of nutritional & dietary guidance along with exercise counseling on what might be best for you to be doing on your own — and you will actually small have homework assignments depending on your goals. As part of the initial session, Hillarie will email you some nutritional info and general fitness handouts that you will go over on your initial call so you have a good idea of what is expected of you in the weeks ahead. If you are interested in weight-loss, you will be emailed a blank food log & exercise log which you will complete and email back to Hillarie on a weekly basis (prior to your scheduled call). After the initial 1-hour session, the next 5 weeks will be 30-minute sessions (via phone) to go over your food log — to talk about any obstacles or barriers you may have incurred — to talk about your exercise log and receive helpful corrections as needed — and to get inspired for the week ahead. It’s really hard to do it alone, especially when your life is busy with so many other things. So working with Hillarie for 6 weeks is a great way to change your mindset, and become more focused on your fitness, your health, and your overall wellness, and to gain the knowledge about proper nutrition and exercise based on your goals. *If you wish to continue these coaching sessions, they can be purchased in 5 week packs. For pricing, please email: M[email protected]

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
YAHOOEE! CONGRATS TO Margaret Doyle . . . Down 22 pounds with her 30-Day Nutritional Cleansing. Margaret was getting ready to start a new job, and really wanted to boost her energy levels and lose some weight. She didn’t use the summertime as an excuse either! Congrats on your new job, Margaret . . . And a big CONGRATS on your success. So happy you are feeling lean, healthy and fit. And I’m so happy you are taking your maintenance seriously. I also love that there is a SOLID maintenance plan to follow, proving once again that this is not a fad, but rather a healthy life-style! You rock, girl!
CONGRATS TO MY FRIEND, Darryl Jackson who also lost 22 pounds on his 30-day program. I met Darryl back in 2009 when I handled his nutrition as he was prepping for his NFL Pro Day. Darryl was an amazing college football player for Kean University. He was a nose guard — chosen to play for Team USA, as well as the East Coast Bowl (senior all-star games), which landed him the opportunity for a Pro Day. There are so many amazing young athletes every year — which is what makes getting in the NFL so difficult. I always say that getting into the NFL is like finding a needle in a haystack. You can have incredible talent and may still not get drafted. It depends on who your agent is . . . what position you play . . . what are the needs of each team . . . how much money is in their budget, etc. But Darryl knew he also wanted to work in law-enforcement, so upon graduation he became a police officer – and although he loves his job, it certainly is more sedentary that playing college football. Darryl needed to adjust his calories, in addition to cleansing his body so it can operate more efficiently. And he did just that! He said he needs new uniform pants and that made my day! Love helping people reach their goals. So happy for you Darryl – thank you for your diligence and discipline – as well as for protecting and serving in New Jersey!

PAYING-IT-FORWARD:
SWEAT ANGELS & !MPACT TRAINING: We found another way to give back . . . Every month there is a different cause – so for the hot month of July, we provided safe, clean water to people in need all over the world . . . So far, we were able to donate 12,050 GALLONS of clean water during July, and during August we donated bricks to build a school! And in September, we were able to donate 4 bowls of food to animals in shelters – for EVERY facebook check-in we had! We partnered with Sweat Angels, a company that links with fitness businesses to provide necessary things for those in need, and every month there is a different cause . . . It’s a monthly contribution to Sweat Angels from !MPACT that makes us feel good! We will keep you posted on next month’s charity . . . It’s fun giving to different causes every month.

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:
Well here we are approaching October already . . . And this should be a month where we aim to get caught up. September catches us in a great state of transition, as we are back into a regular routine at work, vacations are over, kids are back in school, and we are craving structure with regards to our fitness and nutrition. Our energy levels are low and we might even be carrying a few extra pounds. So if you couldn’t get a handle on September, let’s get busy in October. Let’s start planning our meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and our snacks) – so that when we are busy, we have healthy choices available. Next, SCHEDULE your workouts on your calendar, and treat them as if they were a doctor’s appointment . . . DON’T SKIP THEM! Drink plenty of water each day – aim for 128 ounces . . . Yes, that’s a gallon of water. But better to aim high and almost make it, then to pay little attention to your water intake. Chances are you will wind up dehydrated if you are not diligently aiming for a certain amount of water each day. Don’t wait until you have a health issue to make change to your daily routine. Let’s do it together. And remember, the only way to fail is to quit. We will have no quitters here. You CAN do this! If you ever feel like you need a quick conversation or phone call to help you set some goals, just give me a call 908-428-7978. –Hillarie

SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY: This is a great place to go for any type of physical rehab – and boy, are did a great job on my lower-back pain! They handle everything from ligament sprains to arthritic pain. I have always had a strong core and lower back, but I guess my age (47), my strenuous training routine/6 days per week, and the long hours I spend on my feet every day as a trainer can often take a toll on my lower back. Every now and again, it just tightens up and I am in a lot of pain. I heavily rely on the physical therapists at Sports Physical Therapy to get me mobile and pain free again! They have multiple locations, and one of the partners, Jeff Erickson, is a neighbor of mine – great guy! Can’t say enough about what an awesome facility this is! Hillsborough location: 908-359-8800, Princeton (609) 419-0455, Somerset (732) 565-5455, Flemington (908) 806-2000.

TENDER LOVIN GRILL (TLG): If any of you haven’t made your way into the restaurant that is located at the corner of Rt. 206 and Amwell Road, you are really missing out. Not only is the food delicious, but nothing is processed or frozen . . . everything on their menu is freshly made. So I met with the owners of TLG, Steve and Maribeth to talk about implementing an !MPACT Menu – which would be delicious foods that are also calorie-conscious. So if you live or work locally in Hillsborough, you can stop in to check out their specials . . . their regular menu and their !MPACT Menu so you know you are staying on track with your weight-loss plan. We will keep copies of the !MPACT Menu at our front desk so our clients can pick up lunch or dinner on days when they just don’t have time to cook a healthy meal. And Steve & Maribeth will also have copies at their counter. They have awesome food . . . you have to stop in to see them! Lots of their regular menu items as well as their “Specials for the Week” are also super healthy and delicious.
